Hey Folks. Sorry for those that have been wondering what has been going on with this project. A family member of mine had recently injured their leg, so I've been busy helping them out for the last month and haven't had time to really dedicate to the mod. However, my family member is doing better now and is able to move around so I should have some more me time here in the next day or so.
Now I know this isn't the typical 'Sunday' update that I planned for. But, because I've been so busy taking care of family and haven't had time to dedicate to the mod. I will at the very least allow people to see the finalized blueprint for three of our starting civilizations that will be first playable in
Civilizations of Azeroth. There is more I can show for these civilizations, but for the sake of the update I will explain my plans for them rather than making you do the guess work.
-=Update Start=-
-=The Civilization of The Draenei=-
Leader: Velen
Theme: European
Capital City: The Exodar
Colors: Purplish-Pink / Bronze
Trait: (Gift of the Naaru)
Unique Unit: Anchorite
Unique Building: Shrine of the Naaru
Unique Building: Vault of Lights
Champion unit: Vindicator
-=Gift of the Naaru=-
All non-armored land units heal for 10 after each turn and earn 4 
faith with each enemy they kill. +2 
science to all religious buildings and all newly founded cities start with a Shrine of the Naaru.
The Draenei are by far the hardest I've currently had to figure out a plan for and this is because the Draenei are actually far more advance than most other Civilizations. So to try and balance them, early on in the game they will be more advanced than most other civilizations in terms of Faith, Science, and Military unit durability. However, as stronger units begin to take the field later on, the Draenei will start to lose some of that durability they have because they're not able to heal as much of the damage as they were early on. This loss of individual durability will be made up by supportive help from the Anchorite, a unique replacement for the Healer Unit.
The Anchorite's stats are still being figured out. But, this unique healer for the Draenei will have stronger healing ability than other healer units, as well it will also give defensive bonuses to all friendly units. However, the Anchorite will cost more faith than the normal Healer. This increased cost though should be a little easier to deal with the
Shrine of the Naaru
The Shrine of the Naaru while being your first unique building in game, it will also be your first major expense to deal. Costing slightly higher than a
Spirit Ground that it replaces, it does at least give you a early boost in both
Faith and
science. As time progresses and you're able to pay for the more expensive Draenei lifestyle, you will find yourself developing a unique city district later on.
The Vault of Lights replaces the
Religious District. Giving Draenei players a boost in
Happiness,
Faith, and
Science while still giving the benefits of 'Increased production when constructing Religious buildings' as that of the Religious District it replaces. But every Civilization has a Champion ready to stand up for them in those dark times.
The Vindicator is such a Champion. On the Frontlines of War the Vindicator is formidable like any Champion unit. However, it shines the brightest when defending a Holy City. A single Vindicator is dangerous enough to deal with when attacking a Holy City. But multiple Vindicators may demand very 'destructive' measures to beat them. These Vindicators will also inspire those around them, increasing their combat effectiveness during combat. But for every Champion there is a Leader.
Velen himself is a rather peaceful leader, but more than willing to fight if you attack his Civilization, friends, or those under his protection. Though he is rather open with his intent, he is very likely to never take betrayal or aggression lightly. This means Velen will try more for peaceful victory types such as Science, Culture, and World Leader. Domination while possible in the right hands, is very unlikely to be the goal of Velen himself.
If you have any questions about the Draenei civilization, please feel free to ask.
-=The Civilization of the Bilgewater Goblins=-
-=Goblin Civilization=-
Leader: Jastor Gallywix
Theme: Africa
Capital City: Bilgewater Harbor
Colors: Brownish Orange and Black
Trait: (Time is Money)
Unique unit: Buccaneers
Unique unit: Rocket Sapper
Unique building: Bank of Kezan
Champion unit: GS Commando
-=Time is money=-
Starts with the Shipcraft tech. Recieve +3 
Gold from each Trade Route. Oil tiles produce +3 science and +2 Happiness.
So the Goblins are one of our major trade powers that will be in the mod and while originally we planned for them to play sort of like Venice. We had a last moment change in planning, resulting in changing the Bilgewater Goblins into another colonizing style civilization. However, this changes also makes them one of the most, if not the single greatest civilization for dealing with heavy armored units. That changes comes in their Rocket Sappers.
Rocket Sappers are basically the guided rocket that does extra damage to armored units, making it the Goblin's armor buster unit. This fits the Goblins perfectly because of their love for explosives and all things BOOM! However, the battle for supreme trader is not always on land and sometimes needs to be taken to the sea...
The Buccaneers are the Goblin's mid-game answer to raiding fleets of the high seas and raiding coastal cities. They generate higher sums of
gold for everything they raid, making them your ideal unit for better bringing fortune to your civilization. However, with fortune in mind..
The Bank of Kezan will be a major part in supporting your empire's economic demands. Not only will the bank of Kezan improve your
gold per-turn generation, but also the gold output of your settlements, generate a higher amount of
points towards a Great Merchant, but also it will increase your max trade routes by two. However, to keep such a bank operating takes money as well, so while you're getting more for your 'buck' sort of speak. You're also having to put some money down to maintain it and it requires more workers than the usual banks. But when people don't give you what you want, it's time for a little hired muscle...
The G.S (Gob Squad) Commando is the Bilgewater's answer to your economic stresses. This Commando is slightly weaker than a normal Champion unit. However, with it's ability to attack twice per-turn, generate
gold from kills, increased
combat effectiveness against armored units, and one of the fastest Champion units around. It's no surprise that the term 'strength isn't everything' fits perfectly well to the GS Commando and to think, it only costs 1, 250
gold to field one of these skilled fellas. But, there is a boss behind each Commando...
Gallywix himself is a very greedy leader. He wants gold, he wants power, and he wants it yesterday. He isn't afraid to use muscle when the time calls for it and he isn't afraid to make other 'lesser civilizations' to serve his cause. He will bribe, cheat, and steal his way to a World Leader victory, shock you with Goblin technological advancement, or just hire enough muscle to beat you into submission. His culture is about making money and if it must come out of your hide, he will happily take it from you. Don't expect Gallywix to be open with you in his intentions, as anything he claims to benefit both you & him, is really just going to benefit him.

-=The Civilization of the Pandaren=-
-=Pandaren Civilization=-
Leader: Shao-Hao
Theme: Asia
Capital City: Dawn's Blossom
Colors: White and Black
Trait: Pandaria Dynasty
Unique Improvement: Terrace Farm
Unique Building: Lorewalker Chambers
Unique unit: Lorewalker
Champion Unit: Monk
-=Pandaria Dynasty=-
+2 additional 
Culture for every allied City-State and all Cultural Buildings. +35 
Unhappiness when declaring 
war on a Civilization on a different continent than you.
Only one word needs to be used to describe the Pandaren and that word is 'Harmony.' The Pandaren are a much more peaceful civilization, choosing to prosper in culture rather than warfare, advancement in science over vast power, and peaceful trade over hostile take over. Pandaren rather live peacefully tilling their lands and in such a case..
The Terrace farm is the Pandaren answer to both
food,
happiness, and shows more of that peaceful
culture of the Pandaren people. They work hard to support their families and their community. The rich, bountiful lands of Pandaria ensure that these farms will help build up a mighty empire through the hands of hard labor. However, when tilling the land isn't enough...
The Lorewalker Chamber will help spread their cultural
influence of their people to all who visit their lands and guide the masses of the civilization down paths that may lead to new inventions in life through
science or improve life in their
culture. When darkness falls over the empire and answers need to be found...
The Lorewalkers will explore the world for ancient knowledge to help find the answers their people need to solve issues. Lorewalkers travel farther, faster, and are masters of exploring ancient ruins. They're able to find exactly what they're looking for and what their people need. But when that need requires to defend ones home...
The Monk answers with years of discipline and training to protect their homes. Monks are among the fastest of the Champion units, they gain defense bonuses when fighting multiple attackers, and are able to be produced more frequently than most other Champion units. However, one has stood above the rest when it comes to hardship and discipline...
Shao-Hao is a peaceful leader, but a fierce defender of those considered friends & allies of the Pandaren people. He will seek to spread the way of the Pandaren people and lead the world to harmony if he has his way. Shao-Hao doesn't hide his goals, he seeks peaceful resolve over further conflict, but isn't afraid to fight when the time calls for it. So he is likely to seek Cultural, World Leader, or Scientific victory over Domination.

-=End of Update=-
As of today (2/10/2015) when I finish the edit work on this long awaited update. I've gotten back to work on the mod and currently I'm working on getting the Draenei civilization to come up when you load up the mod, as well as the tech tree. Once these two things are accomplished, everything else should start to fall into place quicker.
Next update will reveal three more finalized blueprint plans for the next three civilizations to be added after the Draenei, Goblins, and Pandaren. These next three races will be the Bronzebeard Dwarves, Blood Elves, and Vry'kul.
But it's time to get back to work on the mod!
oubles religious pressure generating from this city.
(I saw in your maps post that you dont have permission for that yet, but I can wait
